!"" #$%!& '()!)((*(+,)- 1994 BRAKES Suzuki Brake System Hydraulically operated brake system uses a tandem master cylinder, with a vacuum-assisted power brake booster and single piston, sliding caliper disc brakes. GT has 4-wheel power disc brakes. Some models have self-adjusting rear drum brakes. All models have cable actuated rear parking brakes.."//&01-2/&3/ CAUTION: DO NOT allow reservoir to run dry during brake bleeding procedure. Use only clean brake fluid. Ensure no dirt or other foreign matter contaminates brake fluid. DO NOT mix different brands of brake fluid, as they may not be compatible. DO NOT spill brake fluid on vehicle, as it may damage paint. If brake fluid contacts paint, immediately wash with water. Raise and support vehicle. Fill master cylinder reservoir to maximum mark with clean brake fluid. Bleed brakes in sequence. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. After bleeding brakes, depress brake pedal with a force equal to an abrupt stop. If sponginess exists, repeat bleeding procedure. BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE TABLE Sequence... RR, LF,LR, RF 4#/5"0&/-362& Push piston rod several times to ensure reaction disc is in place. Set Booster Piston Rod Gauge (09950-98210 or 09950-96010) on master cylinder, and push pin on gauge until it contacts piston. Turn gauge upside down and place it on booster. Adjust clearance by turning adjusting bolt of booster piston rod..47/-/&4"6/16#8//-"45 1) Start engine. Depress brake pedal several times. Depress brake pedal with approximately 66 lbs. (30 kg) of load and measure from top of pedal pad to floorboard. Clearance must not be less than 2.4" (60 mm). 2) If clearance is less than specified, check for worn rear brake shoes, air in brakelines, malfunction of rear brake shoe adjuster or booster push rod length out of adjustment. 3) On all models, pedal free play should be.04-.31" (1.0-8.0 mm). If free play is not as specified, check stoplight switch for correct position and adjust (if necessary). #2-"16#9#6 Loosen stoplight switch lock nut. Pull brake pedal up. Adjust stoplight switch position so clearance between end of switch thread and brake pedal contact is.02-.04" (0.5-1.0 mm). Tighten lock nut. -4701://1/05.47/ Before adjusting parking brake, ensure pedal height is correct and brake shoes are not worn beyond limit. Loosen lock nut on end of parking brake cable. Hold cable nut to prevent cable from twisting and tighten adjusting nut. Pull parking brake handle slowly with 44-55 lbs. (20-25 kg) and count clicks. There should be 4-9 clicks. After adjustment, ensure rear wheels turn freely with parking brake off.
20#96//"./401 have sealed wheel bearings, which are not adjustable.!" 20#&.47/-4& Raise and support vehicle. Remove caliper pin bolts. Remove caliper from caliper carrier and suspend with wire.

Remove caliper pin bolts. Remove caliper from caliper carrier. Disconnect brake flexhose. Plug all line openings. To install, reverse removal procedure. Bleed brake system. 20#2#2 1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove front wheel. Remove caliper and wire aside. Mount dial indicator and check rotor runout before removal. Maximum runout is.004" (.10 mm) for. 2) Remove caliper carrier. Install two 8-mm bolts into rotor holes between wheel studs. On, remove screws before installing 8-mm bolts. Alternately tighten bolts and pull rotor from hub. To install, place rotor on hub and reverse removal procedure. /4&.47/-4& ( GT) 1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Ensure parking brake is fully released. Remove caliper pin bolts. 2) Remove parking brake cable-to-caliper clip. Disconnect parking brake cable from caliper. Remove caliper and support with wire. Remove brake pads. 3) Using Piston Installer (09945-16030), rotate piston clockwise until fully seated in caliper. Install NEW brake pads. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation. /4&.47/4"-/ ( GT) 1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Remove brake flexhose and drain fluid into a container. Release parking brake lever and remove caliper pin bolts. 2) Remove parking brake cable-to-caliper clip. Disconnect parking brake cable from caliper lever. 3) To install, reverse removal procedure. Turn caliper piston counterclockwise to achieve correct brake pad-to-rotor clearance. Fill and bleed system. /4&.47/2#2863. ( GT) 1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Remove brake caliper. Remove caliper carrier. Remove rotor screws. 2) Install two 8-mm bolts into rotor holes between wheel studs. Alternately tighten bolts and pull rotor from hub. Remove spindle dust cap. Unstake hub nut. Remove hub nut and washer. Discard hub nut. Use a slide hammer to remove hub. 3) To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten NEW hub nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. /4&3 (Except GT) 1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel and spindle cap. Remove spindle nut. Ensure parking brake is fully released. Loosen adjustment nut on parking brake cable. 2) To increase drum-to-shoe clearance, remove plug from back side of backing plate. Insert screwdriver into hole until it contacts shoe hold-down spring. Push screwdriver toward front of vehicle depressing hold-down spring and releasing tension on parking brake lever. 3) Remove brake drum. If drum sticks, use Slide Hammer!
(09942-15510) and Adapter (09943-17911). 4) Install brake drum using NEW spindle nut. Tighten spindle nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Install backing plate plug. Adjust parking brake. See PARKING BRAKE under ADJUSTMENTS. /4.47/62/ (Except GT) Remove brake drum. Remove shoe hold-down springs. Remove brake shoes. Remove brake shoe strut and return springs. Check springs and brake shoe strut ratchet for wear or damage. To install, reverse removal procedure. Pump brake pedal several times to set automatic adjuster. Installation Maximize shoe-to-drum clearance by placing screwdriver between rod and ratchet and pushing down on ratchet. Install brake drums and 4 brake drum-to-axle nuts. Before moving vehicle, apply brakes firmly 3-5 times to obtain proper brake shoe-to-drum clearance. /496//"5"0&/ With brake drum and shoes removed, disconnect hydraulic line from wheel cylinder and cap line. Remove mounting bolts and remove wheel cylinder. To install, reverse removal procedure. 4#/5"0&/ DO NOT permit brake fluid to contact painted surfaces. Disconnect connector at fluid level sensor (if equipped). Loosen brakelines on master cylinder. Remove 2 nuts and washers attaching master cylinder to brake booster.
